  • Publication number: 20200133028
    Abstract: A system for custom manufacturing a film to be temporarily applied to lenses of eyewear is provided. The system includes a measuring unit for measuring dimensions of the lenses, a user-interface for receiving user input pertaining to desired properties of the film, and a film-cutting unit for cutting the film according to the dimensions of the lenses. The system can also include a control unit that is configured to receive the dimensions of the lenses from the measuring system, and transmit information pertaining to the dimensions of the lenses to the film-cutting system. The system can also include a payment unit for receiving payment from a user.

  • Patent number: 4452671
    Abstract: A recycle water treatment system for separating oil vapor from steam recovering the oil and heat from the steam and destroys microorganisms and exotoxins which incorporates an inclined duct connected to a barometric condenser with a container for oil at the lower end of the condenser. Oil entrained in the steam is carried up the duct and over the barometric condenser. The steam heats the condenser water that is recovered while the entrained oil flows back down the duct into a recovery container. The condenser water-steam condensate mixture is maintained at about 180.degree. F. for a period of time sufficient to destroy microorganisms and exotoxins.

  • Patent number: 4308000
    Abstract: A discharge outlet coupling and guiderail assembly for a submersible pump has at least two spaced guiderails to which the submersible pump is slidably connected by means of a rail mounting bracket so that the submersible pump is movable up and down the guiderails parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof to permit the discharge outlet of the pump disposed remote from the guiderail mounting brackets to be oriented and aligned for engagement and disengagement with the flanged inlet end of a discharge elbow in the discharge line of the associated fluid pumping system to which the submersible pump must be operatively connected. Orientation of the pump, the respective spaced guiderails, and the discharge elbow is controlled by means of a common base plate to which the respective guiderails and the discharge elbow are connected in predetermined spaced relation.
